Title: Investigation Kicks Off: Sungai Bidor Water Pollution Allegations
Get ready, folks! The Perak state authorities have sprung into action, launching an in-depth probe into the suspected contamination of Sungai Bidor, particularly focusing on pig and duck farms. Here's the lowdown on this gripping drama:
The Investigators: Perak's Power Duo
The Perak Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) and the Department of Environment (DOE) are leading the charge, zeroing in on both pig and duck farms situated near Bidor. They've hit the ground running, conducting on-site checks and swiping water samples from strategic locations for lab analysis[1][2].
The Hotspots: Farms Under the Microscope
The samples were collected from a pig farm and a duck farm at Batu 2 1/2, Jalan Bruseh. Inspections revealed that the pig farm is ticking all regulatory boxes. However, effluent samples were scooped up from both the discharge point of the farm and the discharge pipe near the river area, with the analytical labs busily crunching numbers on the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) readings[1].
On the duck farm front, things took an interesting turn. It was discovered that the farm doesn't employ rearing ponds, so no waste-filled pond water is trickling into the river[1].
Fueling the Frenzy: PAS's Claims
Adding fuel to the fire, PAS Vice President Datuk Idris Ahmad voiced his outrage about a pig farm in Kampung Poh, claiming it's a key culprit in polluting Sungai Bidor[3][4].
Perikatan Nasional's Counterblast
Perikatan Nasional (PN) jumped into the fray, claiming they've conducted laboratory tests revealing high levels of untreated waste and pollution in the river, contradicting the pig farm's claims of compliance with waste management regulations[4].
The Show Must Go On: The Race to Find Answers
Results from the recent water sample tests are set to drop next week, shedding light on if those farms are truly culprits or just innocent bystanders[1].
In the midst of the political heat, PN has issued an ultimatum to the state government, threatening to disclose their findings publicly if the pollution situation doesn't receive immediate attention[4].
As the investigative drama unfolds, stay tuned for further updates on this intriguing saga!
- The Perak Department of Veterinary Services and the Department of Environment are investigating pig and duck farms near Bidor, focusing on water quality, particularly Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) readings in the effluent samples.
- While the pig farm is complying with regulatory standards, the effluent samples from both the farm and the discharge pipe near the river area are being analyzed for BOD readings.
- In the case of the duck farm, no waste-filled pond water is being discharged into the river as it doesn't have rearing ponds.
- PAS Vice President, Datuk Idris Ahmad, has expressed concerns about a pig farm in Kampung Poh, accusing it of polluting Sungai Bidor.
- Perikatan Nasional (PN) has conducted laboratory tests and claimed high levels of untreated waste and pollution in the river, contradicting the pig farm's claims of regulatory compliance.
- The results from the recent water sample tests are expected next week, which will provide clarity on whether the farms are genuinely polluting the river or not.
- PN has issued an ultimatum to the state government, threatening to reveal their findings publicly if the pollution situation doesn't receive immediate attention.
